From this vessel, Grievous launched the Battle of Coruscant, a raid of the planetCoruscant that resulted in the capture of Supreme ChancellorSheev Palpatine. The Jedi GeneralsObi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker boarded the vessel to rescue Palpatine, Skywalker killingCountDooku (secretly the Sith LordDarth Tyranus), who had been holding him hostage. Unbeknownst to them, the entire event had been orchestrated by Palpatine, who was secretly Darth Sidious. The group was captured and escorted to the bridge of the Invisible Hand, where they were confronted by Grievous. Grievous intended to slay them, but ultimately could only escape, attempting to sabotage the ship and jettisoning the vessel's escape pods. Skywalker was able to land the vessel on Coruscant, though it suffered catastrophic damage and would likely never fly again.[4]
